Could you post some links?
Doing your own research -- if you won't accept the personal anecdotes of the person you're talking to -- is easy enough: Go to these forums' advanced search engine feature here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/search.php ...enter "blue AND frog" into the appropriate field, and hit return.
It just feel strange for me that no one in the big threads on digg.com for example have said anything.
Off-chance, do you think it might be because a cross-section of digg commentators contains a much, much smaller percentage of Mozilla software users (a prerequisite for, in turn, being a Blue Frog user, unless they've branched out to other platforms) than the commentators in Mozilla forums?

C'mon; this isn't rocket-surgery.

The Truth

Post by AlanBrunsdon »

Mike, you just got unlucky with the timing (assuming you are not a spammer, there are many of them trolling forums posting baseless lies such as this about Blue Security).

As the poster above said, if this was a normal pattern how come the VAST majority of posters, for instance on digg or slashdot are supportive of Blue Frog.

I have had my frog installed for a long time and the only increase I have had in Spam was very briefly during the "war" that they decided to start on BS. And that was only on the 1 address which was already heavily spammed. The ones not on their list already got no increase.


The truth about Blue Security can be read here

If the Frog was not working how come the spammers are so worried that they launch DoS attacks, send threatening spams to members and post lies all over the internet. Think about it for a few seconds, if the stories were actually true, the spammers would be doing their best to keep it quiet not posting it everywhere!.

It's no different than when a someone comes to the support forums and says something like "Firefox destroyed my computer", "Viruses everywhere", "The worst browser on the planet", Firefox sucks, it gave me adware!". These may be real problems for the individual but they make it sound wide spread when in reality it's a tiny few. I suspect it's no different with Blue Frog / Blue Security.

Any chance a MOD can close all these stupid threads on the evils of Blue Frog? BTW it also works with IE and Maxthon, probably works in other browsers as well. If it was evil more people would be complaining.

Yes, of course; it's all lies! Horrid, baseless lies! The rest of you: Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, and let's all pause for a moment to rinse the filth off our Korans before we continue in our adoration of The Great Aqua Amphibian.

The first rule of propaganda is to accuse your detractor of doing exactly that which you yourself are doing.

Of course, and the very proof in that 100mpg carberators work is the fact that Big-Oil-run government Justice Dept. is so keen on shutting them down.

Yeah. Who's wearing the tinfoil hat now? Who's having trouble with logical-fallacies?

No anime has "fanboys" as committed as those of Blue Frog, who defend the supposed virtues of a free* extension with an inconguous tenacity -- a tenacity curiously matched only by that of the spammers they insist are attacking their fine, fine product which hijacks Yahoo! and Gmail sig files to spam their fine, fine product.

(*Why, you'd almost think they were losing $$$$ or something.)

Well, it could of course be that this all is a stage act. We only know about the evil spammer dude launching the ddos because blue security told us so...

It's a complicated issue and nobody can know nothing for sure. I hope blue security are good guys and I really hope they'd manage to hurt spammers. No more viagra, please.

I reiterate: Anyone who thinks a "do-not-spam" list, or cease-and-desist auto-replies, will have the slightest effect -- either suffers from a level of intelligence not meeting the prerequisites of <i>homo sapien</i>, or has some other motive for spending a bazillion dollars' worth of their time, equipment and bandwidth on the project.

What level of ethics are involved in hijacking my Yahoo! and Gmail sig files to spam their product which purportedly fights spam?

Furthermore, nobody should be in the least surprised by any of this: After all, alleged anti-spyware and anti-virus programs which turn out to be disguised malware are not only commonplace, but arguably the <i>majority</i> of such utilities.

Beware! mike18xx is THE spammer!

Post by johntouch1 »

Be careful! Don't listen to this mike18xx guy!
He's a criminal!
He's previously posted comments in the add-ons site of the Blue Frog extension. These comments were full of lies and dangerous threats.
Of course you might receive more spam if you use the Blue Frog extension. This is because mike18xx IS the one that sends you spam and threats!

Didn't you try thinking what made him do such an effort (image, many posts, etc.) for making people uninstall the Blue Frog?
This is because he is a spammer. And the Blue Frog that managed to fight spammers harms is business, so he's trying to force people to uninstall this extension by writing lies. DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS PERSON!
He's part of a group of criminals that attacked the Internet last week (take a look at http://www.bluesecurity.com/Updates/pm_ ... meline.asp and many other articles and blogs)

Blue Frog has a big community of more than 500,000 people. The Blue Frog managed to signicantly reduce spam for us. Tens of thousands of people (including me) are using the Blue Frog Firefox extension and enjoying it very much.

Remember who are the bad guys (spammers) and the good guys (anti-spam).

Hysterics like these are too good to be true -- you'd almost confuse it for sarcasm if that was all you read -- but no, he's serious as his puddin' brain will permit.

Hahahahahaha.....

C'mon, you lame frog; send over MORE of your lobotomized flunkies to darkly hint of my "dangerous threats"! Why are sooo worried? How can I *possibly* be causing so much concern for the owner-operators of a FREE extension? Why are the devotees so incensed that they must breathlessly rush over here to create new accounts solely for purpose of issuing a conspiratorial rejoinder as their very first post? Does any other FREE extension have hordes of partisans like the lame frog? Why is it that I remain strangely uncompelled to hatchet-job the critics of my favorite free Firefox extensions? Perhaps I am just lazy, or insufficiently possessing of the alleles of European soccer hooligans.

Say, I wonder who was responsible for tacking my Yahoo! addy into the From: address of an outbound flood of spam this afternoon, resulting in a return-flood of MAILER-DAEMON failure notices (which Yahoo! dutifully dumped into the bulk folder without lame frog holding its hand) after they bounced off dead target boxes? Gee, what a fantabulous coinkydink it happened mere hours after I pissed all over the <i>LAME FROG</i>

Dig your hole deeper and deeper, lame frog.

I've tried and only find one other problem having the same problem as you. I also found a lot of people using the extension without the problems.

As I said before if you are right it very important people get this information but I don't think it is right that everyone here just should take your word for it. Just give us something more that your word please. Specially now when there is a "war" between spammers and BlueSecurity it is so easy to think that you are on the spammers side.

Wiz, if you can't find people other than me, save a single sole exception, complaining about Spam Frog in the Mozilla forums, then you're simply not devoting the necessary time to the search-engine. (For instance, here... http://forums.mozillazine.org/search.ph ... 9&start=75 ...you can watch the "guest" user spam-spam-spam away near the bottom -- hilarious, and exactly all that I've come to expect from these guys). Regards this alleged "war" between spammers and alter-ego front BlueSecurity, my, what a convenient excuse! --what compelling cinema! And just a phony as anything Tom Cruise puts up on the silver screen.

Meanwhile, anyone else sufficiently incredulous is free to hunt through my others posts on this board to see what my general opinion is regarding ad-blocking software like Adblock, Flashblock, NoScript, etc. (Hint: I'd like to take red-hot calipers to "mouse-chasing" click-boxes and scrolling text displays, if that gives you some indication.)
